Features: The wine boom has gradually cooled down, and bookshelves are filled with numerous books about wine. It seems there is little value in writing another book about this type of drink. How can this book stand out and be independent? There are two main types of wine books on the market. From Mr. Liu Jutang's translated work "Introduction to Wine" to Mr. Lin Yushen's "Comprehensive Wine Book," they belong to the category of educational books, where readers can absorb knowledge. Mr. Chen Xinmin's "Rare Wines" focuses on the backgrounds of famous vineyards, giving readers a deeper understanding of them. These books are all valuable references, but they are all theoretical works, lacking a consumer-oriented buying guide. Based on this, the author began collecting materials and compiling this "Wine Buying Guide" starting from April 1998. To compile this book, a total of information on over 500 bottles of wine under 2000 New Taiwan Dollars was collected, but almost half of them were eventually excluded, leaving less than 100 bottles. The reason is simple: some of the wines were simply not suitable to introduce to the public. Some of the wines mentioned in the book have been personally tasted by the author, and more details are provided for them. For others, information was sourced from distributors, and overly exaggerated descriptions were removed to maintain fairness. Careful readers should be able to notice the difference. This book is published by Yuhang Press and mainly introduces methods of buying wine, as well as the origins and flavors of various types of wine, helping you find the wine you love.
